The worst thing is that I feel compelled to keep playing it despite knowing that it's the manipulative Skinner Box tactics that make me feel that way lol.

I have before. BFA was such a snooze. Shadowlands is better, but I'm not feeling it the way I was in Legion.

I've done pretty much all the progression I can do except raiding, the Maw, and Torghast. I don't have a guild and my server's so dead that it's hard to find one anyway.

It had shine?

Honestly after EQ and SWG I haven't been able to immerse into an MMO since. WoW was just candy fed baby shit

Yep, just cancelled my subscription. Expires in two days, so good timing on my part.

It always makes me feel kind of sad when I do that though. I played the fuck out of this game when I was a teenager, so it's always a bummer that you can't recapture that magic.

Has been going downhill since WotLK and tanked after Legion.
Shadowlands is actually kind of fun, though it's definitely not as good as Legion.

And I never played during MoP, but going back through it makes me think that expansion was pretty dope too.

WoW is a game that you need a good guild to make it, imo. It's not a solo game.

You say that, but I was essentially guildless all throughout Legion.

A guild certainly helps though.

I lucked into an amazing guild in Classic and the last 12 months has been the most fun I've had in gaming in years and years.

Tough finding a good MMO nowadays. I like "old school" type MMOs and tried Project: Gorgon, but it has its own issue. Then there is Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. The devs over there are... yeah... I don't see that game succeeding.

It has to have a real in-game player-crafting economy. So tired of loot drops ruling the landscape of everything. And Eve is just waaaaay too gothic for my tastes

Now the only question is what to play instead.

One thing I'll say for WoW is that it's perfect background gaming. Like if I'm watching something on TV, it was easy to play some WoW at the same time.

If you havent tried FF14 then it could scratch that itch. Its free three the first xpac now.

Nothing will top the WotLK days for me. I still remember spending eight weeks getting the green proto drake and camping like mad to get the time lost. Some good fucking times were had back then.

yeah i unsubbed like a month and a half in. shadowlands just feels off to me. the premise of it feels like a shark-jumping moment and the world feels more disconnected and video-game-y than ever. also classes still suck, i basically have just not been able to find a spec i enjoy playing. RIP WoD ret paladin and Legion shadow priest

TBC classic however i am totally down for.

y'all need to hop on the Project Gorgon train.

morphing into bats? check
conducting autopsies on animals and monsters to improve your damage against them? check
doing word search minigames to improve your vocabulary so you can be a better bard? check
planting flowers? I never figured it out but you can garden in the game yeah
dying in different ways to make your character strong? you got it
permanent curses from dungeon bosses? got those too
shitty 2001 gaming graphics? hell yes.

Serious note - for some reason I never once got attracted to WoW. I've tried almost every other MMO for at least a few minutes (minus City of Heroes, Matrix Online, and like LOTR Online)

I quit a few weeks ago. This expansion is a let down. Im in a guild and we do heroic raiding and mythic plus. But week after week of no good drops and shit from the vault has made me feel less compelled to play. Not to mention that I got tired of mythic plus back in BFA. Its just not gameplay I find enjoyable.

The Maw and Snoreghast also really bored me. Nothing about the expansion really kept my interest. It will be interesting to see what they announce tomorrow at Blizzconline and if Ill be back next patch. I went back to playing FF14 after taking a break for several years and Im finding it much more enjoyable. So many better QoL features.

Having all four zones completely disconnected and forcing you to fly through Oribos has a lot to do with that.

I don't think any expansion has had a more boring hub than Shadowlands. And that's saying something when WoD's bullshit exists.

Because MMORPG is the best genre and it is dead now thanks to these young whippersnappers with their MOBA's and Battle Royale's. So our options are shit or outdated shit with nostalgia attached.

Only modernized high quality MMO is FFXIV and playing that game is like reading an endless book.
